Our Meeting Venues

The AWG holds regular meetings, but conducts a lot of its work ex-committee. Its principal communications method for formulating and discussing concepts, guidance and advice is the AWG Wiki (www.ukawg.org). Parts of the wiki are open to the public. INCOSE member can get wider access, including the ability to comment on the material the AWG is generating, to the wiki by emailing their name and affiliation to register@ukawg.org.

The AWG functions under a framework provided by its Terms of References, which are available on the wiki.

The work of the AWG is described in a paper, which has been submitted to the INCOSE International Symposium 2008. Again the paper is available on the wiki.
